I'm not so sure having shorter release cycles are the answer.
Agreed. To me, XP has always been rock solid. (But then again, I'm not one of these users who double clicks on anything that promises nude pics of Jessica Alba, so maybe that explains why I don't have any problems with it.) I say take as long as you need to and release it when it's ready, as I don't have a problem with the 5-6 year release cycle myself. In fact, I kind of like it. Of course, I realize that you need to keep the money rolling in, but I'm a lot less likely to buy a new version every 2 years or so, especially if you release a crapfest every 2 years like Windows ME.
